FYC: Awards Season Tracker (2017-2018) [4]

The purpose of the Awards Season Tracker is three-fold.  The first is to keep a record of all screeners that are sent out either via hard copy or digital to various members of the Academy and major guilds.  The second is to provide an insight into the amount of films and performances that are being considered for awards season.  This is in partnership with seeing the evidence of what films and performances have the support of their respective studios.  Lastly, AwardsCircuit.com has a strong following from casual movie-goers but is also read by several members of the Academy Awards that often ask for recommendations about what they "should" watch when afforded the time.  This will offer them those recommendations.

(*All ratings are on a four-star scale*)

We will also keep track of all the marketing materials from the awards campaigns.  I'll try to share everything from the swag gifts, to the actual screener cases and where the films and performances are being campaigned.  To add, and it should go without saying, I won't share or send the screeners to you, so please don't ask.  While I'm very appreciative to have the opportunity and privilege to have these sent to me, there's nothing better than watching the films in the comfort and cold of a dark movie theater.  I encourage all of you to do the same.

FILM
NOTES
RATING


"Get Out" (Universal Pictures)
Blu-Ray copy.
(★★★) – Writer/director Jordan Peele has a distinctive voice and style. Last 20 minutes goes one step too far.


“City of Ghosts” (Amazon Studios)
Digital copy – FYC (Best Documentary Feature)
(★★★½) - A respectful, in-depth look into the heroes that fight against Isis, along with the casualties and humanity that is lost along the way.


“Human Flow” (Amazon Studios)
Digital copy – FYC (Best Documentary Feature)
TBD


"Long Strange Trip" (Amazon Studios)
Digital copy – FYC (Best Documentary Feature)
TBD


"Maudie" (Sony Pictures Classics)
FYC - Best Actress (Sally Hawkins), Supporting Actor (Ethan Hawke)
TBD


"Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer" (Sony Pictures Classics)
FYC - Best Actor (Richard Gere)
TBD


"Let It Fall: Los Angeles 1982-1992" (DADA Films)
FYC - Best Documentary Feature
TBD


"An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" (Paramount Pictures)
Digital screener - FYC, Best Documentary Feature
TBD


"Okja" (Netflix)
FYC - Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor, etc.
(★★★) - The film has undeniable heart, featuring slick special effects and a very fun performance from Jake Gyllenhaal but the story doesn't quite stick the landing.


"Logan" (20th Century Fox)
FYC - Best Picture, Actor (Hugh Jackman), Supporting Actor (Patrick Stewart), etc.
(★★★½) - Mangold's film packs an emotional gut punch that you don't expect, featuring Jackman's finest outing as the famed superhero. Outdoes everything "Deadpool" was rumored to have done for a Rated 'R' superhero film.


"Chasing Coral" (Netflix)
FYC - Best Documentary Feature
TBD


"One of Us" (Netflix)
FYC - Best Documentary Feature
TBD


"Strong Island" (Netflix)
FYC - Best Documentary Feature
TBD


"Icarus" (Netflix)
FYC - Best Documentary Feature
TBD


"Architects of Denial" (DADA Films)
FYC - Best Documentary Feature, sent with magazine and book
TBD


"Beauty and the Beast" (Walt Disney Pictures)
Blu-Ray/DVD copy, sent with soundtrack
(★★½) - Disney's attempt at diversity and inclusion is appreciated and noted but "nails on a chalkboard" singing efforts from some of its cast just make you want to watch the original.


"Split" (Universal Pictures)
FYC - Best Actor (James McAvoy), and other categories.
(★★★) - While the film doesn't bring utter forgiveness for Shymalan's other missteps, it's a great step in the right direction featuring one of James McAvoy's most dynamic performances yet and the highlight of the first half of 2017.


"First They Killed My Father" (Netflix)
FYC - Best Picture, Director (Angelina Jolie), Foreign Language Film, etc.
TBD


"My Cousin Rachel" (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
Digital screener
TBD


"Patti Cake$" (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
Digital screener
TBD


"Goodbye Christopher Robin" (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
Digital screener
(★★) - Feeling like an extended, period episode of "VH1's Behind the Music: Winnie the Pooh Edition," the film has a hard time maintaining its focus despite an admirable effort from Domhnall Gleeson and Kelly MacDonald.


"War for the Planet of the Apes" (20th Century Fox)
Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack copy.
(★★★½) - Matt Reeves' epic saga of the "Apes" is brought to an emotional close, featuring devastating loss and showing once again the talent and wonder that is Andy Serkis.
